Default Acceleration/Power Problem?

Hey all, so I'm having an interesting problem. No errors. No CEL. Nothing, but just feels like my car's struggling to pick up speed. Once it gets up to speed, it's generally pretty good, but it just feels like hell trying to merge onto a highway or jet away from a light like I like to do. Any suggestions?

Does it barely respond when you stomp on the gas? And then after a few seconds, finally respond properly?

Any chance your brake lights are staying on when after you take your foot off the brake?

I had the same kind of deal, but my brake lights wouldnt turn off when they should. The ESP light came on occasionally too. Was a faulty brake switch.

I got the feeling you never had a turbo before. I think you're getting the turbo lag effect, it happens.
